Excellent

Mr. Schumann did a great job negotiating my debt settlement. It was an overwhelming process for me and he resolved it quickly, to my satisfaction. He was always responsive and straight to the point regarding my questions throughout. Would hire him again for services in the future.

Amazing, trustworthy and unrelenting--Super Hero!!!!

Roger is and was a miracle to us. We needed help in a collection issue that we felt was not ever going to end. His knowledge and perseverance was remarkable. We thoroughly trust and recommend him for anyone looking for legal help. We cannot thank him enough!!!

Excellent Results

I was referred to Roger and from the first telephone call he put me at ease with my situation. He was professional and honest. As soon as I gave him authorization the creditor stopped calling me and would deal with Roger exclusively. He kept me in the loop with just about every conversation he had wi...th the creditor- and the problem was resolved within a few weeks. I would absolutely recommend Roger.

THE Best Advocate

I have known Roger Schumann for over 15 years. He came highly recommended from a friend when I needed a lawyer for my business. He was able to significantly reduce a judgment against me to an amount that I could easily afford and finally payoff. Then my sister and I used his services when our mother ...passed away leading to an insurance policy issue. He again successfully and expeditiously resolved a complex situation to our complete satisfaction. Throughout the years I have found my business being sued, as well as my doing the suing and Roger is 'THE' best advocate to have on your side in either situation. He is very professional, aggressive when you need him to be, has a logical plan in mind for you, explains things clearly and is trustworthy. He fights hard, is genuine in his concerns, smart and always keeps your best interests in mind.

Hands down the BEST Lawyer!!!

I heard about Roger from a friend, she titled him as" the best lawyer she's ever met". After him helping me resolve my case I too have no doubt he is the BEST. I had a time share that was co purchased with an ex who refused to pay his half as promised and i was left stuck with this payment and subse...quent annual fees. Roger was able to get the time share holders to come to an agreement of a certain payoff and take the time share back. He fought hard on my behalf and was formidable ,well organized, meticulous and brilliant. With his wise and witty attitude he made me feel like I was in good hands. He was always accessible, he gave great and practical advise.With all these qualifications I am certain that he is the BEST and will do his BEST at the task assigned to him.
